Valentino (“Tino”) Cooper of the Department of Energy’s 91 uses theory, modeling and computation to improve fundamental understanding of advanced materials for next-generation energy and information technologies.
An international team of researchers has discovered the hydrogen atoms in a metal hydride material are much more tightly spaced than had been predicted for decades — a feature that could possibly facilitate superconductivity at or near room temperature
In the quest for domestic sources of lithium to meet growing demand for battery production, scientists at ORNL are advancing a sorbent that can be used to more efficiently recover the material from brine wastes at geothermal power plants.
